Lauren's first pony!

Ok so this one isn't alive...but those are the best kind. Cheap to feed and you don't have to muck out their stalls! So a few weeks ago, Lauren and I were at Costco. They had these rocking horses for sale and I got Lauren out of the cart and onto the pony to see if it "fit". It was too big for her, but she didn't care. As I peeled her off of it, she let the entire warehouse know of her disappointment. I even had an older lady stop me in the store 15 minutes later and say, "Your daughter is sooooo cute. You should really buy her the pony." Gee thanks lady!

Today after water babies we made a Costco run, mainly just to get the rocking horse. They had 5 different colors originally, but today it was down to 2 with only a few of them fully operational. So needless to say, the little girl got the pony. And it was to be a Christmas present but daddy decided that was too far away and we are going to call it a belated birthday present. It's so funny. It whinnies, makes a galloping sound, shakes his head and swishes his tail.

Pleased as punch!

Giving the pony loves after her ride. What good horsemanship! It was a very ungraceful dismount!
